Approaching its topic with humor, style, and a critical eye, this unique guidebook enables parents to provide a healthy and diverse diet for their children. Instead of providing yet another guide to kids' nutrition, a medical discussion, a treatise on the perils of obesity, or a parenting primer on good table manners, this study demonstrates that children need to be taught how to eat well just as they are taught to walk. With detailed guidance from nutritionists, physicians, scientists, and chefs, this handbook details how to find the right foods, how to overcome recurring problems, and emphasize the healthiest elements. Dealing with the picky eater and the real worries about obesity and good nutrition, this survey posits that youngsters eat the way they do because of how the parents themselves eat-and shows how to combat any and all bad habits. Offering plenty of information on how to go about serious change and where to find the best resources, this reference is guaranteed to broaden the horizon of any child's menu.

Counteracting the panic and fear associated with getting lost in the wild, this handbook equips children with practical tools for overcoming adverse wilderness experiences, even if they are endured alone. Compiled by a search-and-rescue professional, straightforward advice is offered on building shelters and fires, signaling for help, finding water and food, dealing with dangerous animals, learning how to navigate, and avoiding injuries. Practice projects are included to hone survival skills-such as starting a fire with a reflective surface, casting animal tracks, or using a treasure hunt to test navigational aptitude. Making a strong argument for danger prevention, each lesson is coupled with simple instructions and diagrams that will reassure and empower young adventurers.

Understand the Asian consumer's demands and effective marketing strategies! The emergence of China as a viable consumer market has created tremendous opportunities for international or multinational firms looking for market entry or expansion in China.

Reggie Ballantyne is a firebug for the times. He's obsessively clever, full of strong convictions yet willing to sell his services for a song, he's an urban warrior and he specializes in inventive attacks on wheat and sugar cane fields. Australia's crazy weather is playing into his hands. It's baking hot and hasn't rained in prime farmlands for months. Young Reggie is caught by country cop Bruce Brown then freed on the instructions of police headquarters. They're too busy to bother. What a mistake. Then when big-city screen jockey Alix Kingston's telephone rings and he is also too busy to take the call, it takes him weeks of battling office politics to realize that he has turned his back on the biggest, life-saving story of his career. Kingston and Brown finally discover they have just the right mix of divergent self-needs to chase Reggie down. This leads Alix to the knock-out discovery that Chinese government officials are paying Reggie to fulfill his firebug dreams. China! The rising superstar of the world economy. What is it doing in grubby little firebug deals in Australia? Lawless Chinese business practices lead Alix on a treacherous chase through Hong Kong, Outback China and Taiwan. This reveals a world of ruthless Chinese capitalists, decked out in Ray-Ban sunglasses and Gucci suits, and ever-spreading concrete over land grabbed from peasants. Is China saving the world or eating it alive? Shimmering heatwaves from the Australian wheat arson attacks hang like a mirage over a new world where rampant lust for money meets the climate crisis and global food fears in battles across grains bowls and commodities markets. Alix faces the challenge of his life chasing answers in a crooked global game of greed which has the power to hit hard at virtually everyone in every corner of the world.

From swashbuckling pirates and Caribbean sugar plantations to rum punch and trendy tiki bars, rum is one of our best loved and most historic liquors. The Short Course in Rum began, naturally, as a look at noble, fragrant, complex, wood-aged rum: the type of liquor that's served in snifters and consumed slowly, even reverently. Author Lynn Hoffman (Short Course in Beer) had the suspicion-maybe even the conviction-that rum was a serious, big deal sort of thing, somewhere above single-malt scotch and maybe (just) below cognac. He was infused with missionary zeal. He was hoping to gather the rum snobs of the world to talk about esoteric little bottlings. He was a purist and he wanted to meet other purists and convert the uninitiated. When he started some serious tasting, what he discovered made him abandon the purist approach and embrace the wild and wonderful world of rum. He discovered that rum has taken many forms throughout its history-Rumbullion alias Kill-Devill, Demon Rum, and more. He learned about the American Revolution, lush desserts, the sugar trade, the anti-saloon League, prohibitionists, abolitionists, and alchemists. He tasted great rum from craft distillers and incredible inventions from bartenders. Inside you'll discover: the world's best wood-aged sipping rums recipes for the best rum cocktails plus the secrets of creating your own great recipe the adventures of working in a small craft distillery Lynn Hoffman discovered a world in rum and he invites you to sit down with him and share that world.

Cystic fibrosis (CF), an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond. www. cff.org. Unveiled tells a true story of how life can change in a single breath. Unveiled is a true story about how two parents dealt with the devastating news that their baby girl was born with cystic fibrosis. Which in 1973 was considered a death-sentence. When the doctor informed Laurie's parents of the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis in 1973, Laurie's father made the decision for the whole family, including her mother and her sister, aunts, uncles, and grandparents etc. to keep cystic fibrosis a secret from her. This story unveils the truth about how an illness can disrupt an entire family's life in a single breath from the life they once knew and the challenges they faced, the unforeseen obstacles, the heartbreak and the triumph. Laurie was a young woman of twenty-two when she found out the shocking news that she has a fatal disease, cystic fibrosis. She found out shortly after walking up the stairs one Friday evening and became short ofbreath. Since that moment on the stairs, Laurie's life has never been the same. Behind the veil of distressing symptoms of CF, she overcame the shock of her diagnosis, learned to deal with its daily struggles and strengthened her relationship with her parents and her sister.

How a Midwestern family with no agriculture experience went from a few backyard chickens to a full-fledged farm-and discovered why local chicks are better. When Lucie Amundsen had a rare night out with her husband, she never imagined what he'd tell her over dinner-that his dream was to quit his office job (with benefits!) and start a commercial-scale pasture-raised egg farm. His entire agricultural experience consisted of raising five backyard hens, none of whom had yet laid a single egg. To create this pastured poultry ranch, the couple scrambles to acquire nearly two thousand chickens-all named Lola. These hens, purchased commercially, arrive bereft of basic chicken-y instincts, such as the evening urge to roost. The newbie farmers also deal with their own shortcomings, making for a failed inspection and intense struggles to keep livestock alive (much less laying) during a brutal winter. But with a heavy dose of humor, they learn to negotiate the highly stressed no-man's-land known as Middle Agriculture. Amundsen sees firsthand how these midsized farms, situated between small-scale operations and mammoth factory farms, are vital to rebuilding America's local food system. With an unexpected passion for this dubious enterprise, Amundsen shares a messy, wry, and entirely educational story of the unforeseen payoffs (and frequent pitfalls) of one couple's ag adventure-and many, many hours spent wrangling chickens.

Autumn returns to Ontario cottage country. Leaves redden. Pumpkins ripen. And Trevor and Margaret Rudley, proprietors of the Pleasant Inn, expect nothing more than a little Halloween high jinks to punctuate the mellow ambiance of their much-loved hostelry. However, the frost is barely on the pumpkin when Gerald, an old female-impersonator friend of the Pleasant's esteemed cook Gregoire, turns up, dragging his very frightened friend Adolph behind. They've witnessed a drug deal in progress in Montreal and they're on the lam, hoping to blend into the Pleasant's pleasant rhythms until the heat is off. Alas, they hope in vain. The pumpkins in the patch suffer more violence than frost this autumn. And so do other living things. As the bodies pile up, the intrepid Elizabeth Miller, lately returned from a round-the-world adventure, jumps into the homicidal fray, fully armed with her peculiar intuition, her maddening charm, and her devoted swain, Edward Simpson, who proves a useful fellow behind the wheel of a car. Detective Michel Brisbois, in the past bested by Miss Miller in rooting out unpleasantness at the Pleasant, finds himself racing - quite literally - to keep up with his amateur challenger. But, in this second volume of the Rudley mysteries, when the chips are down - as they inevitably are - it's the laziest creature on earth who ends up saving the day for the good and kindly - and rather eccentric - folk of Ontario's most peculiar country hotel. Autumn is a wonderful time at the Pleasant. The air is crisp. The food is fabulous. Rudley provokes the guests and Margaret provokes Rudley. A glorious Halloween party is planned. Could someone spoil it? You'd want to murder anyone who did!

Surprisingly readable and studded with nuggets of insight."-The Daily Yomiuri "This insightful, well-written, fascinating book offers new understandings, not only of Japan, but also of American culture. It is essential for those in anthropology, psychology, sociology, and psychiatry who are interested in culture, as well as those in law and the business community who deal with Japan."-Paul Ekman, Ph.D,Director, Human Interaction Laboratory, Langley Porter Institute, University of California, San Francisco "[A] thoughtful cross-cultural study of development. His work can only enhance the still evolving psychoanalytic theory of preoedipal development as it is being derived mostly from psychoanalytic research on child-parent interaction in American families."-Calvin F. Settlage, M.D. "Johnson's ambitious and exhaustive synthesis of anthropological and psychological treatments of dependency raises interesting questions. Johnson alerts the reader to issues of universalism and relativity and leads us to ask, 'What would psychoanalysis be like, if it had originated in Japan?'"-Merry I. White, Edwin O. Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies, Harvard University ". Johnson's erudite and critical re-examination of human dependence succeeds to re-profile dependence meaningfully and revives our interest in this major aspect of human experience. Indeed, much food for thought for both psychoanalysts and anthropologists."-Henri Parens, M.D, Philadelphia Psychoanalytic Institute Western ideologies traditionally emphasize the concepts of individualism, privacy, freedom, and independence, while the prevailing ethos relegates dependency to a disparaged status. In Japanese society, the divergence from these western ideals can be found in the concept of amae (perhaps best translated as indulgent dependency) which is part of the Japanese social fiber and pervades their experience. For the Western reader, the concept of amae is somewhat alien and unfamiliar, but in order to u

Around the world the allergy epidemic is spreading. The hospitality industry can no longer bury its head in the sand and pretend allergy prone customers don't exist. But how do restaurants and all other food outlets cope with this new demand? This book is a guide to help reduce the hit and miss situations that currently exist. Books like this can never be definitive, however, they can go a long way to overcome confusion, misinformation and ignorance. The book covers 14 of the most common allergies the hospitality industry is most likely to meet. These include dairy, corn/maize gluten, latex, night shades, nuts, seafood and a lot more. Each chapter covers what people can and cannot eat, substitutes, hidden sources, and cross-over related allergies. Georgina Fatseas-Sano was a special education teacher for 12 years. She furthered her education in various short term certificate and diploma business courses. She still operates a small specialty food shop where she is constantly meeting people with multiple allergies. The shop frequently receives calls from caterers, restaurants and occasionally fast food outlets looking for assistance in dealing with people who have allergies.

It has more than 170 museums, three opera houses, an enormous cultural variety, and gripping modern history. An interesting daytrip is to royal residences in nearby Potsdam. The author provides innumerable tips on special discounts available for travelers (some 20 on train and bus travel alone) and tells how to save on gas (cheapest on Mondays, most expensive on Wednesdays), as well as virtually everything else, with inside information on getting the best hotel rooms at the best prices, the best deals and the best food at restaurants. For every area of the country, full information is supplied on how to get around, the best shopping, the foods and the recommended places to eat, where to stay, from charming guesthouses, hostels and campsites, on up to the most luxurious hotels. Includes town and country walks, cycling, fishing, canoeing & kayaking, Rhine cruises, wine tours, concerts and other cultural events - it's all here! As a Pocket Adventure Guide, it shows you how to experience everthing the country offers more intensely and directly than most travelers know how to do - seeing the place close-up through adventures, both cultural and physical, including in-depth encounters with the people. Other guides lack our level of detail, our adventure perspective and our emphasis on direct experience of the country. We provide an insider's knowledge that you won't find in other guides.

Hi there. So nice of you to be here. So you want to lose some weight, or get healthier. I applaud you for this undertaking. Let me introduce myself. My name is Beverly and I am a RN. I have over 30 years of experience in helping people in crisis, starting with a degree in Psychology from VPI & SU. I have been a Registered Nurse since 1993. By far my most intense experiences came from over 15 years working in a state-run mental institution. Believe me when I say there is not a person that I have taken care of that did not have some problem which had a food component. Occasionally some fights even break out over food, and I totally get it. By the time they get to me, they have little choice in what or even when they are told to eat. I much prefer it when people have their own choices that they can make. Too many illnesses are caused by our lifestyle. All of our health is influenced by our food choices; what, when and how we eat. As a nurse I have to deal with people who are struggling to regain their health. I would be happy if I never had another patient hospitalized because of the diet they ate or a diet they tried. The real question is often not how to lose weight, but more "Why do I have to struggle with this all the time?" This is where I can help you. I am not going to propose another Miracle diet, what I propose here is making a change to a Healthy Lifestyle. Make this change and your weight should fall right into line, without you stressing over it. You begin by making the decision that this is something you want to do for you and then start taking steps in that direction. The only way you can fail here is if you don't try. Here I will give you over 50 Tips, Hints, and Techniques to make changes toward a healthy lifestyle. Starting with the first step, always the most important, I guide you over 4 steps to take as you begin your challenge. You will explore the internal and external factors that can impact your success.

Globally, local and indigenous approaches to conserving biodiversity, crop improvement, and managing precious natural resources are under threat. Many communities have to deal with 'biopiracy,' for example. As well, existing laws are usually unsuitable for protecting indigenous and traditional knowledge and for recognizing collective rights, such as in cases of participatory plant breeding, where farmers, researchers and others join forces to improve existing crop varieties or develop new ones, based on shared knowledge and resources. This book addresses these issues. It outlines the national and international policy processes that are currently underway to protect local genetic resources and related traditional knowledge and the challenges these initiatives have faced. In particular these themes are addressed within the context of the Convention of Biological Diversity and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. The authors broaden the policy and legal debates beyond the sphere of policy experts to include the knowledge-holders themselves. These are the 'custodians of biodiversity': farmers, herders and fishers in local communities. Their experience in sharing access and benefits to genetic resources is shown to be crucial for the development of effective national and international agreements. The book presents and analyzes this experience, including case studies from China, Cuba, Honduras, Jordan, Nepal, Peru and Syria. Copublished with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).

While struggling to pinpoint the cause of his weight gain, Mike Berland discovered the key to breaking his body's focus on fat-storage: a diet that keeps his metabolic syndrome in check and enables his body to burn fat while exercising. He quickly lost sixty pounds and feels better than ever. Now, he has teamed up with his trainer, former Olympic triathlon coach Gale Bernhardt, to show readers how they, too, can lose weight, stay fit, and perform better. Despite being highly active in many sports, Mike Berland struggled with his weight for nearly thirty years. From 1986 to 2012, he gained one to two pounds each year, steadily growing from 192 to 236 pounds. His waistline was constantly increasing; he was a fat-storing machine. Feeling his fitness quickly fading, he tried every diet out there-high-carb, low-carb, no-meat, all-meat-but nothing worked. He was losing hope, until he met with nutrition specialist Dr. Laura Lefkowitz. She taught him about his condition, metabolic syndrome, an energy utilization and storage disorder that is affecting Americans at an alarming rate. Dr. Lefkowitz helped him lose weight dramatically, but as soon as he went back to his exercise routines, he gained weight again. The more he exercised, the hungrier he became. Unwilling to settle for this situation, Mike pursued one last resource: Gale Bernhardt, an elite Olympic triathlon coach and author of many exercise books. Together, Mike and Gale have unlocked the secrets to dealing with metabolic syndrome and working out without gaining any weight. Featuring expert advice from Dr. Lefkowitz and Gale Bernhardt, this book offers unique insights and specific plans to lose weight, increase health, and improve fitness. In addition to precise meal and exercise plans, The Fat-Burning Machine Diet provides general tips about how to calibrate your diet for maximum effect-which foods burn fat, which foods will sabotage your effort, when and how to snack, and the best schedule for maximizing workouts
